Which companies are winning after not adhering to anti-DEI mandate NEW YORK β€” Diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, has been losing with corporate America, with one big exception: the people who actually own the companies.

πŸ”₯”The rejections of anti-DEI proposals β€˜reveal that the investor community doesn’t think that having a tough stance on DEI makes financial sense. Investors are saying they don’t want ideological shareholders to drive business.’” - Rutgers Law professor

The Washington Post bragging about Pulitzer winner Ann Telnaes, the political cartoonist who left the Post because it had turned into an anti-journalism partisan rag, is one of the most shameless examples of misplaced self-congratulations in recent memory.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

2 lies I hear from the right about the federal government:

"The federal government has gotten so bloated!"

The federal government is the same size it was when Kennedy was president.

"Reagan was the last president to cut the federal government!"

There were MORE fed employees when he left office.

Charlotte Clymer on Substack Trump is using campus protest as a gateway to prohibit all protest in the long run. This is a long game to dismantle First Amendment protections. I hope that's obvious to everyone.

Our stock market is crashing.

Our economy is contracting.

Our government is dismantling.

Our allies are fleeing.

Our grocery prices are rising.

But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America."

So it all evens out.

Tariffs UP.
Groceries UP.
Exports DOWN.
Stock market DOWN.
Consumer confidence DOWN.
Chance of a recession UP UP UP.

After Trump left, it took Biden 4 years to rebuild the US economy.

It’s taken Trump just 6 weeks to destroy it again.

You, the U.S. taxpayer, are having your money stolen by the orders for CDC staff to not publish with WHO staff or funding. When a paper is being written, it means that at least part of the research has been completed. Research that YOU paid for and that now will be delayed or abandoned altogether.

The problem with people like Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk, is they lack the self-awareness and familiarity with decency to be ashamed after shockingly inappropriate or rude behavior.
